Urban Chickens

Chickens!

Gardensphere has been your urban chicken expert in Tacoma for the past 10 years.

The Gardensphere staff is happy to walk you what you need to be backyard poultry farmers. We also carry all of the supplies you will need to establish and maintain your flock. We receive hatches of chicks February through August. Most chicks are $5.99 per bird, although some of the more rare breeds may cost a few dollars more.

Chicken Purchasing Policy

Chicks are available on a first come, first served basis. We are unable to “reserve” chicks for customers. Chicks arrive on Wednesday, but will not be made available for sale until Thursday. This allows them to recover from their travels.

We have partnered with the City of Tacoma Envirohouse to offer FREE Chickens 101 education classes. If you would like to learn more about urban chicken keeping consider attending one of these complimentary classes.
